Replying To farneygael3: "Debate still goes on who is better Gary Mohan or K Hughes. 2 similar players. Beggan wintering we'll almost cost Scotstown. Needs to get down to training next week" Wouldn't call it much of a debate, k Hughes is a generational talent wouldn't say the same for Gary. Has there been many new additions to the Monaghan squad I have heard of two clones lads, won't be long until the league comes around again.

Replying To farneygael3: "With it only being the party boys of Donegal in the next game it would be safe to rest Jack for the final" I don't agree with the statement labelling St Eunans the party boys but I do think they will rest him for this game. It is scary the strength and depth of their atttack. Francis Maguire barely started a game all year and starts the first round of Ulster and plays a stormer, Mattie Maguire likewise in the Co final. Sherlock was brilliant the other day, plays with the shackles off and looks to enjoy himself. MOTM in the county final Max seems to be struggling with a hamstring issue so he could also be rested. K Hughes looked in a bit of pain also and spoke about it also in an interview. Next few weeks be very important to get these bodies right for St Eunans. I can see Crossmaglen v Scotstown final again, Scotstown owe Cross one and I believe they are a lot stronger now but Cross have some spirit in them which has shown throughout their campaign this year. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 358 - 11/11/2026 14:25:41 2700081 Link

Scotstown are far too seasoned at this rate. These games are novelty's for Eunans and Cross. Maybe in a few years Cross might get back to the level they once were in Ulster. Rian won't win a game on his own v Scotstown farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 881 - 11/11/2026 14:34:15 2700085 Link

Then throw in McConville and young McEntee. There can only be one winner. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1289 - 12/11/2026 00:54:20 2700156 Link

There can only be one winner." I do agree that Scotstown probably will struggle with the O'Neills but I think across the whole 15 Scotstown is better. McArdle will probably pick up Oisin O'Neill with McCaffrey or Murray going to Aaron O'Neill. Rian will be around the middle so I am unsure who will pick him up. D Hughes will play that sweeper role that he plays to a tee shoring up the defence. Cross have a lot of fires to put out also, McCarthy, Carey, K Hughes, Maguire(s), Mallon, Sherlock all need watching on their day. Has the makings of a massive gam with plenty of talent on display. We are looking ahead of two brilliant semi finals but I believe it will be a Scotstown v Cross final. countymonaghan (Monaghan) - Posts: 358 - 12/11/2026 10:50:14 2700171 Link

New addition to the backroom team, Graham Byrne has joined as the main S&C coach after leaving St. Patricks Athletic. Looks a good appointment, has soccer and GAA experience. sporto (Monaghan) - Posts: 218 - 12/11/2026 13:30:29 2700193 Link

Cross have been letting opposition win and lose games over the 60 minutes recently, 14 points down in Armagh also. Some say good character in a team to come back, i say poor reflection on those teams + Gowna. Edendork only beat the Antrim champions by 1 point, and i would fancy Drumhowan to beat any Antrim senior team. i will tip Edendork, Cross luck to finally run out next Sunday. Scotstown by 5- 8 v the party boys and making a straightforward win more difficult than it should need to be, which isnt a bad place to be going into the final either than winning by 11/12 farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 881 - 12/11/2026 13:31:08 2700194 Link

Replying To farneygael3: "With it only being the party boys of Donegal in the next game it would be safe to rest Jack for the final" This attitude has dogged Monaghan football since I've been around. Surely 140+ years of underachievement would suggest you never take anything for granted. Monaghan teams can always find a way of losing. This would be a spectacular way of doing it though. In a knockout game, any team that rests a player now on the assumption that they are better than the opposition will get what they deserve. I'd hope the Scotstown management haven't bought into this way of throwing away games. It would be great to see a Monaghan team win a senior All Ireland at last, PolicemanFox (Monaghan) - Posts: 239 - 12/11/2026 15:50:34 2700214 Link
Scotstown need to close out game better, even last year against kilcoo, to close for comfort. Eunans will be a stern test. 222 (UK) - Posts: 984 - 12/11/2026 17:24:15 2700222 Link
